Water-Base Laquer

[Farrell]

Thanks for posting this. I bought those nice scrapers that Pianotek sells. I have a square grand to strip. I started messing with the scrapers and it sure seems to me that this will work very well indeed. Good to hear someone else has used this approach. I guess that as long as you don't feel the need to get every last spec of stuff out of the grain (and I don't on this job) it should work fine.
